Dimmer-MACHINE.

Be it known `that- I, WILHELM SEHLBACH, of Bredderstrasse 38a," Barmem Rhenish Prussia, Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Dyeing-Machines, of which the following -is a specification.

' My invention relatesto dyeing apparatus and more particularly to apparatus for dye.-v

ing4 skeins of yarn or othersimilar material,

and according to my invention, I v provide a tajnks for containing dye, a yarn frame'sup- 'i the top and ported in each tank, Vthe frames being ar ranged vto reciprocate in the tanks so that v @the` material or yarn supported by thev frames, -is thoroughly and equally dyed.

'Indescribing the invention in detail ref-. erence'is `had to the .accompanying drawj ing, forming a part of'this specification, and which illustrates in Figure 1 a sectional ele- -vation of the apparatus,-'Fig.2 isanenlarged section of .the 4 tank with its casing or frame.` Fig. 3 is a section taken at a right y angletoFig.2.z Referring to the 'drawing` by referencev `numeral a is denoted an open vat. or tank 'f Of'preferably vrectangular shape, .which may be closed by a lidof-any construction not shown in the drawing.

b' is a casing which closely vfits the tank and may be guided therein in any suitable removed. 4On said rods d the skeins of yarns are -suspended and-it will be clearthat the rods maybe adjustedi-n such a manner that the skeins wholly-4 fill the casinggand are supported at an; angle with relation to the fluidlevel inthe tanks. The height of the tank is such that th'e stroke of the frame" will be regulated with relation tothetan'k and thatthe yarn is not lifted over the `level Specification pf- Letters Patent.

' ofthe liquor, but is 'constantly-covered by the saine. The casing or frame being-thus wholly filled with yarn and vfitting lclosely in the tank acts as a plunger, the yarn will beforced thereforel through. the liquor and all. particles of the yarn are saturated with.

the liquor, which penetrates the same with great vigor so thatv thel dyeing process is carried out ina cheap' `and yet4 effective manner.` The means for raising and lower- Ving `the plunger may be`of any suitable construction.. In Fig. I I have combined two tanks ca ch having aV plunger the 'rods of which are coupled'to a rocking beam c -i'n order to giveto the plunger the necessary motion in an economical way.

vFrom `the drawing it willbe seen that the side rods b'form'ing a part of the frame are provided -with'longitudinal dove tailed rel cesses forming lguides for correspondingly f 'shapedrods c, which are notched to receive" the skein rods ah The' rods@ being relatively shorter than the'sup'porting rods b, vmay be moved longitudinally of the rodsl b` and thereby the upper and'lower ends ofthe skeins mayA bei adjusted withl relation to each other to change the angle ofthe skeins with relation to the fluid level of the tanks.

y 11. In a yarn dyeing apparatus, aj tank, a frame in the tank`, said frame comprising side andendrbars, each of the' side barshaving a grooveyrods havingnotched portions, the rods having 1a, portion slidable in the grooves,- yarn supporting rods held in'the 'notched portions ofthe bars, amovable vlmember for engaging. the rods for holding the saine in the notches, and means for moving the frame inf'the tank.

2. In a yarn dyeingrapparatus, tank, a

frame in the tank said frame comprising side and end bars, each of the side barshaving a 'groove in the inner face thereof,

notched bars'inovable in the grooves,'skei,n supporting rods in `the notches of the 'notched bar, land means for holdingl the skein supporting rods inthe notches substantially as described.
